== [[Tabletop Games]] ==
* ''[[Dungeons and& Dragons]]'' gargoyles are vicious magical creatures with their own language, ambush predators that lie perfectly still, passing for stone statues.
* ''[[Vampire: the Masquerade]]'' had a vampiric bloodline of Gargoyles, created by clan Tremere as bodyguards.
* [[Our Monsters Are Different]] example verging on [[In Name Only]]: Gargoyles in ''[[Warhammer 4000040,000]]'' are Tyranid air-attack creatures aka Hellbats. They can't turn into stone, but may have got their name from their tendency to perch atop a [[Giant Flyer|larger Tyranid flier]] called a Harridan.
* In ''[[Rifts]]'', Gargoyles come in five types: The standard Gargoyle, Wingless G'''u'''rgoyles, Tiny Gargoylites, and the Gargoyle Lords and Mages, who have the ability to turn to living stone for short periods of time. The largest concentrations are found as Mooks for the Demons of Hades and serving the [[Cosmic Horror|Splugorth]], but a large Empire of them is found in Europe, and is fighting the Human NGR with high-tech weapons and [[Humongous Mecha]] of their own.
* In ''[[Changeling: The Lost]]'', one possible character type is the lurkglider, explicitly stated to be gargoyle-like.
Line 75:
* ''[[Castlevania]]''. Though most of these are [[Palette Swap]] [[Underground Monkey]] varieties of other monsters, and merely fly and look grey, ''[[Order of Ecclesia]]'' has the actual turn from stone variety. One prominent example is Gaibon, who was fortunate enough to receive a recurring role, [[Degraded Boss|occasional boss status]], a loyal teammate, and a position directly serving Death {{spoiler|and occasionally Soma}}.
* ''[[Killer Instinct]] 2'' has a final boss named Gargos and styled after a gargoyle.
* Gargoyles in [[RunescapeRuneScape]] are winged humanoids made of stone, that require a Slayer level to kill. If they're not smashed with a rock hammer once they get below a certain health level, then they're unkillable and regenerate health as fast as one hits them.
* In ''[[Eternal Lands]]'', Gargoyles are one of the weaker monsters.
* In ''[[Master of Magic]]'' Gargoyles are a summonable unit of Chaos. They fly, are immune to poison and (of course) petrification, have good armor, and that's it.

== Webcomics ==
* In ''[[Bibliography (web comic)|Bibliography]]'', Gargoyles are Pages of the Petrified Codex. The only one seen so far is William [[Red Baron|"Sentinel"]] Adams, an enormous man who can turn his skin to stone, launch stone pillars and enter an [[Turns Red|enraged]] mode when hurt.
* In ''[[Exterminatus Now]]'' gargoyles are [http://exterminatusnow.co.uk/2008-05-17/comic/mort-to-it-than-zombies/touchy-subject-is-touchy/ angels] of [http://exterminatusnow.co.uk/2006-08-25/comic/four-of-a-kind/good-gods/ Mort].
